  19. Cleaning supplies are available throughout the member-only dungeon parties. However, it is recommended that you bring your own supplies as we cannot guarantee supplies and may not always have supplies available. If you do a scene involving wax, blood, or urine, or a scene which results in residue of some sort please use a drop cloth or tarp. Please clean up after your scene. Leave all equipment free from sweat, blood, and other bodily fluids, wax, toys, etc. Bring ANY bodily fluid contamination immediately to the attention of the DM.

  23. NO ANIMALS ARE ALLOWED inside the secure area of the Guild of Deviated Standards, LLC space. Guild of Deviated Standards, LLC is a private membership-only event and, under Title III of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), is not bound by law, and may disallow entry by animals of any kind for any reason; however, if you need an exception for a service animal please contact us ahead of time to obtain such clearance at Producers@GuildofDeviatedStandards.com and include Service Animal in the subject line.
    All questions regarding entry by ANY animal may be approved ONLY by the event producer.

I further understand and agree that Guild of Deviated Standards, LLC is a private membership organization and that the privacy of all members of Guild of Deviated Standards, LLC is of paramount importance to such members. For that reason and as part of the binding terms of my membership, I represent and agree that I am not joining Guild of Deviated Standards, LLC nor attending this event as a news/media/broadcast reporter, investigator, or gatherer of facts and information for any news/media/broadcast outlet in any capacity. If I should divulge to any news/media/broadcast organization or to any reporter or media representative of such organization anything I see, hear, hear about, participate in, or photograph while attending this event as a member of Guild of Deviated Standards, LLC, whether or not the actual personal privacy of any member is actually violated, I hereby recognize and agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages that Guild of Deviated Standards, LLC might incur for such membership violations and disclosures of its private organization. Therefore, I agree that a reasonable calculation of the total damages that Guild of Deviated Standards, LLC would suffer in the event of such disclosure is and shall be, as the sole and exclusive remedy and not as a penalty, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) as the “Liquidated Damages Amount.” I recognize and agree that in the event of any publication, disclosure, or media release whatsoever, the news/media/broadcast outlet and I shall each be held separately liable to Guild of Deviated Standards, LLC for the total Liquidated Damages Amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) as specified above.
